Summary
A coming of age story about self-discovery and independence from the Queen of Tween, Jean Ure. ‘I’ve always been the quiet one in my dramatic family. Not a drama queen, or a genius composer, or a twin, but Just Peachy. Mum says I’ve got my own thing going on… I just wish I knew what that was! When I decide I want to attend Sacred Heart school rather than Summerville where my family have always gone everyone finally stops to listen! Stepping out on my own is scary, but I need space to find out who I am and what I’m good at.’ A new novel from Jean Ure, about a girl trying to find who she really is – and maybe a friend along the way… In Just Peachy, Jean Ure masterfully explores the best of juvenile fiction, weaving a tale of friendship and self-discovery that resonates with kids and adults alike. The social issues tackled in the story are presented in a way that is both engaging and enlightening, making it a must-read in children's literature. For fans of Katie Kirby (The Catastrophic Friendship Fails of Lottie Brooks), Liz Pichon (Top of the Class), Christopher Edge (Fear Files), Beth Garrod (The Unfortunate Wishes of Nelly Young), and Jen Carney (The Day My School Got Famous).
